Hello Unraid-experts!
I am totally new to Unraid. I have built a new system and now I would like to optimize the power usage. I did read a lot and tried several settings, however I do not reach C8 or C10.
Powertop
I used this guide here to install powertop and make some adjustments to the mainboard settings:
As for now, I only reach C3 (usinge SSH instead the webbrowser-GUI-terminal does not make a noticable difference):

Do you have any suggestions on how I can make the CPU to go to C8 or even C10? Do I miss something?
Any help is highly appreciated 🙂 Many thanks
